Leadership Development
and Financial literacy are vital to the success of any individual. While
leadership is the ability to direct others by influence; financial literacy is
the ability to understand how money works in the world. You cannot learn to
ride a bicycle by reading a book. The same way is true with leadership
development and financial literacy. You must practice!!! It is quite
unfortunate that the school curriculum does not include this key aspect of our
human endeavours. Most people struggle with money because in school the only
learn how to work for money. Rarely do they learn to have money work for them.
Albert Einstein defined insanity as “doing the same thing over and over again
and expecting different results”. Each year, millions of graduates join the
queue of unemployed youths believing so much in their degree certificates.
The biggest room in our
world is always the room for self-improvement. Leadership development and
financial literacy open the doors of opportunities and help us develop our
limitless potentials. We find ourselves in an environment where some students
and even lecturers view leadership positions as a fraudulent game of politics
that should not be encouraged. In fact, they see it as opportunities for only
those who are not serious with their academics. On the other hand, they view
people investing to help their financial state as being over-ambitious. The
truth is that when you have such notions, you limit yourself. Leadership
Development and Financial literacy are not choices, they are prerequisite. Your
potential is limitless and cannot be measured by the opinions and estimations
of others.
This is a clarion call
for us to think anew! We must have the ability to create opportunity where we
see problems. Problem solving is education at its best. This will enhance our
financial literacy. Furthermore, our world is in desperate need of good leaders
whom they can trust. The journey of a thousand mile starts with a foot step.
Embrace leadership development today, so that you can be the extra-ordinary
man/woman tomorrow. Let us change our thoughts and attitude so that our actions
can change, and so will our results.
